About Us

For over 40 years, we’ve been a trusted name in independent pet supplies, starting with handcrafted leather leads and collars. Founded as K9 Leathers in Southport by Mike Foreshaw, we built our business on quality products, great prices and personal service.

Fast forward to 2023, where Simon and team took the reins, bringing 50 years of retail experience from some of the UK’s biggest high street brands. Their goal? To provide a customer focused approach to help independent specialist pet shops, groomers and vets grow built on fast, flexible service and no-fuss ordering.

Now in 2025, we’re shaking things up! While other wholesalers look down and prioritise shareholders, K9&CO focus on looking up to our customers and their customers; so - curated products, no minimum orders or pack sizes, and next-day delivery to keep shelves full. We work closely with specialist suppliers, emerging brands and European manufacturers to bring you a quality range of pet essentials.

Our rebrand to K9&CO – Wholesale Pet People reflects our commitment to supporting even more businesses. Whether you’re a pet shop, grooming salon, garden centre or vet practice, we’re here to help you unleash your business’s full potential.

At K9&CO, your business is our business. Let’s grow together!
